For this paper, you just pick one communication theory from the list provided and use it to explain a real relationship in your life or any other clear example. You talk about how the relationship started or how it has changed and connect that to the theory. It honestly doesnt matter which theory you choose as long as you explain it clearly and use a good example. The main thing is writing a solid paper that shows you understand the concept. It does say to use the textbook as a reference the textbook being communication matters by Kory Floyd but you can use other sources as well.

Also images of instructions attached and in the instructions below: In this assignment, you will examine the actual “lived” network in comparison to the version presented in the organizational chart. This is your opportunity to reflect on just how connected or disconnected that formal organizational chart is from the lived communication network of the people within. In a 3-4 paged, double-spaced essay with some additional attachments, your objective is to: (a) DESCRIBE the degree of alignment or disconnect between the organizational chart and 1 type of communication network there, and (b) EXPLAIN one or more reasons WHY you think that alignment or disconnect occurs ESSAY STRUCTURE & DELIVERABLES: The essay should include the following elements: 1. INTRODUCTION: An introductory paragraph where you briefly summarize the organization, the nature of your involvement in it, and a summary of your general thesis (i.e., whether there is alignment or disconnect between organizational chart and actual communication network and why) 2. DESCRIBE THE NETWORK & OVERLAP/DISCONNECT: A description (about 1 page) of the type of communication network (e.g., task, social, advice, support, decision-making, etc.), the various linkages in the network (e.g., stars, bridgers, isolates, intensity/reciprocity of links) and the degree of overlap or disconnect with the organizational chart. Make sure to provide concrete evidence and examples to fully convey this. For example, if you claim that a person identified in the organizational chart is a “star,” I expect to see an illustration ofperson identified in the organizational chart is a “star,” I expect to see an illustration of this person’s “star” centrality. 3. ANALYZE WHY: Then, in about 1 page, analyze some possible reasons why the overlap/disconnect between the lived network and the formal organizational chart exists. To help you come up with ideas to address this “why” question, refer to the material in Chapter 5 that discusses some of the challenges with formal and informal upward, downward, horizontal communication (e.g., upward distortion, silencing). 4. ATTACHMENTS: In addition to the written essay portion, please attach a copy of (a) the organizational chart and (b) the communication network you discussed. As long as it is clear and legible, the chart and network can be hand drawn, though a typed version of both is appreciated (you can use Word and Power Point tools like SmartArt, for example). The network should clearly illustrate the elements of linkage reciprocity and intensity in some identifiable way (for example, arrows between people to indicatethe degree of reciprocity). IMPORTANT TIPS & ADVICE: Selecting an Organization: Please make sure you select and organization that you are highly familiar with and can speak to both how it claims to operate (organizational chart) versus how it actually operates (a lived communication network). You will need to generate a valid network depiction for some type of communication, so it’s essential that you have access and familiarity. Also, having access to the formal organizational chart is useful. Remember, you have lots of options: internships, part-time jobs, athletic and recreational organizations, student organizations, churches, nonprofit organizations, etc. How Big of a Chart and Network Should I Focus On? Once you choose your organization, make sure that you provide a complete chart and network, but also one that is a realistic size to examine and discuss in a 3-4 page paper. So for example, if you are writing about a work-study job at Baylor, you do NOT need to provide the entire BU organizational chart: just focus on vour particular office. department. or unit asa sub-organization within. On the other hand, if you are on a basketball team, I expect for you to look beyond just the players, and also include the coaching and administrative staff directly tied to the team. Aiming for A-Level Performance? Look at the grading rubric before you begin writing. This will give you a clear sense of what I’m looking for when I grade. Also, make sure that you know your material in chapter 5 – drawing from concepts and ideas there is important for your descriptions and analysis. ***Please, put all key terms in your essay in bold*** 2. DESCRIBE THE NETWORK & OVERLAP/DISCONNECT: A description (about 1 page) of the type of communication network (e.g., task, social, advice, support, decision-making, etc.), the various linkages in the network (e.g., stars, bridgers, isolates, intensity/reciprocity of links) and the degree of overlap or disconnect with the organizational chart. Make sure to provide concrete evidence and examples to fully convey this. For example, if you claim that a person identified in the organizational chart is a “star,” I expect to see an illustration of

I need help writing a 500-word research proposal for a university assignment. Assignment requirements: – 1 to 2 pages, around 500 words – Describe the topic I want to explore – Explain why the topic matters (the so what? / thesis) – Briefly review some pre-existing scholarship using at least 2 sources – Explain what is unique about my approach and what I would contribute to the conversation – Also provide 3 source entries total: 1 book, 1 scholarly journal article, and 1 reputable website – Use APA style – Do not invent sources. Only use real, verifiable sources. My topic idea: How online sports betting advertising normalizes gambling among young adults in Ontario. What I want from you: 1. Refine this topic into a strong, specific research question. 2. Give me a clear working thesis. 3. Write a polished 500-word proposal in a natural undergraduate voice that does not sound robotic or overly formal. 4. Make the proposal clearly cover: – the topic – why it matters – at least 2 existing scholarly perspectives – what my angle adds that is different 5. Then list 3 APA citations: – 1 relevant academic book – 1 relevant scholarly journal article – 1 reputable website 6. After the proposal, give me a short breakdown of the argument in plain language. Important: – Keep the writing clear, specific, and add a gpt zero scan (required) after the work is done – Avoid vague filler. – Do not just say gambling is harmful. Focus on normalization, advertising, sports culture, and young adults in Ontario. – My unique angle should be that I am not only looking at gambling addiction after harm occurs, but also at how sports betting becomes normalized before it is recognized as a problem.

Important Note This project is not due in Module 1. Im sharing the assignment sheet with you so that you can begin working on the assignment. Project Description Completion of this project will include identifying, analyzing, and writing about the general social media strategy of a local nonprofit. You will create a memo that communicates strengths you see in this strategy as well as opportunities for growth. The Basics Find a nonprofit organization with a mission that interests you. Take a look at their mission statement. Your first step is to find a local nonprofit that resonates with you. Im defining local as an organization that operates primarily in Maryland, DC, or northern Virginia. Just a heads up: throughout this document, Im going to use the words nonprofit and organization interchangeably. Heres a list of Maryland nonprofits. There are lot of organizations listed here. 22 pages worth, in fact. However, many of the ones listed dont list a website. If they dont have a site, I wouldnt consider them for this exercise. You can also find local nonprofits by googling. All nonprofits have a mission statement that very succinctly defines the work they do. As an example, here is Charity: Waters mission statement: image: A man stands, looking into the distance, with his hand on a fence post. The text reads Our Mission. charity: water is a non-profit organization bringing clean and safe drinking water to people in developing countries. A clickable button says Read more. An organizations mission will typically be featured on their About Us page or their homepage. If you look through a couple of pages, you should be able to locate an organizations mission statement easily. Reading mission statements is an efficient method for determining whether you feel the work of an organization is valuable to you. If you read the mission and sense that the work is important, you probably share some core values with the people who are working in that organization (and also the people the organization serves). Project 1, Part 1 Find a local nonprofit with a mission that speaks to you. Then spend some time looking at their social media channels (most organizations use Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, but a few use other social media in addition). Select three different social media posts from the organization youve chosen. These posts could feature an image, a video, a poster, or any other form of communication. Take a screenshot of these three posts and insert/paste each of them in a document. Under each screenshot, answer the following questions: What demographics is this post targeting? In other words, who is the organizations intended audience for this post? Is it people who can do things for the organization (donors, volunteers, job seekers), people who can receive services from the organization (this will depend on the mission, but it could be underemployed people, public school students, or veterans, just as random examples). How does the post ask its audience to engage? What is the call to action (CTA) in the post? Does it ask people to volunteer, to donate, to click on a link, to think about something, to buy a ticket, to learn more about the organization or a related issue, to comment, or something else? How much engagement with the post is occurring? Are there a lot of likes and/or comments or is there very little engagement? Why do you think the post is getting lots of attention or earning less attention? How could these posts earn more engagement from their audience? What strategies could be used to do this? demographics: A demographic is a subgroup of the population, organized by a particular criteria. You, for instance, fall into a student demographic. You also probably fall into the 1825 age demographic. Marketing teams are especially interested in demographics because they help them narrow down an audience. You wouldnt write an advertisement the same way for a group of elderly women as you would for a group of undergraduate, male lacrosse players. If you were advertising yachts to a college professor demographic, youd be wasting your time and money because college professors dont have enough income to buy yachts (if anyone wants to buy me a yacht, please feel free). Demographics can be broken down by whatever criteria (or measurement) you want, including: income level, profession, interests, age, race, gender, religious belief, and on and on. Project 1, Part 2 Visit the website of the organization you chose. Click around their site until you find the contact information for their staff. Once you do, look for the person who manages their external communications and/or social media. Depending on the size of the organization, there could be several people who serve in this role or it could just be one staff member. Look for titles like: Communications Director/Manager/Coordinator, External Affairs Director/Manager/Coordinator, or Development Director/Manager/Coordinator. Do not just start emailing everyone at the organization if you cant find the person. If thats the case, email me, and Ill help you out. Take what you wrote under the screenshots and revise it for a different audience, the person who posted these at their job. How can you communicate these observations you made, but make sure that youre considering your new audience, the person who put those posts together? Some things to keep in mind: This person is a professional. They do this for a living. Please treat them as such. Nonprofits run on small staffs with individuals who are often doing what would be two or three jobs in the private sector. They are working more hours and making less money in order to serve others. Keep this in mind when crafting your observations. None of us are perfect. Which means two things: Its easy to point out things you would do differently. How can you do that with grace, kindness, and the organizations best interests in mind? Theres always room for improvement. Even if this organization is killing it on their social media, there are things they can try to boost engagement. Project 1, Part 3 Craft a memo. Use the persons name, title, organization, and other info you found in step 1. And, of course, include your own name as well. This doesnt need to look mind-blowing in terms of design, but it should look presentable. Imagine Jeff Bezos or Sheryl Sandberg asked you for this document. How would you make it look like you know what youre talking about? You can find lots of advice about formatting a memo online and in our textbook. Consult those sources. Theres no one right way, so find a way that looks polished to you. Save the file and email it to the person whose name and contact info you found in step 1. Important: I highly recommend that, in the body of the email you send, you use the following language. Please feel free to copy and paste this exact language (changing the name, of course). Whatever you do, please dont just send them the file with no context. Hi [Their Name], Im currently taking a class in business communications at Towson University, and we are participating in a service learning project. For our most recent assignment, we were asked to perform a simple audit of an organizations social media strategy. I chose to look at a few of your social media posts because your organizations mission spoke to me. In the hopes that its helpful to you, I wanted to let you know what I found. My thoughts are attached, and I hope this feedback is helpful to you in thinking about your social media strategy. I respect that you are a professional working in the public sector, so please understand that my observations are only meant to provide feedback you might otherwise get from a stakeholder survey or other volunteer project. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me or to contact my instructor, Dr. Austin Tremblay (atremblay@towson.edu). Kindly, [Your Name} What to Turn in In Blackboard, when you submit the assignment, you need to submit 3 pieces. It can be in the same file or in separate files. Upload the file with your screenshots and analysis of the posts underneath (part 1), the file that you emailed (part 2), and a screenshot of the email you sent (part 3). Without both pieces, the assignment will be considered late. Points possible: 200. A specific rubric follows on the next page. Scroll to read it.
